About Us

The Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) aims to help countries better assess the impacts of their climate policies and actions, and fulfil their transparency commitments. It does this by increasing the overall transparency capacities of countries, including the capacity to assess the contribution of climate policies and actions on countries' development objectives, and providing appropriate methodological information and tools to support evidence-based policy-making. ICAT's innovative approach is to integrate these two aspects. ICAT focuses on countries that can highlight the benefits of increased transparency to demonstrate policy impact and evidence- based action. ICAT's vision is to become an integral component of the delivery mechanisms of the Paris Agreement, and supporting capacity for the effectiveness and ambition of climate action through enhanced transparency tools.
